There are multiple routes to take in each act, of which there are six plus a boss in each zone, and figuring out how to use these powers to reach collectable Red Rings or get an S rank is a ton of fun. Each color gives you a different power, for example yellow allows you to drill through the ground, cyan turns Sonic into a laser to bounce off of surfaces, and white adds to your boost gauge which you use to go even faster and plow through foes. As Sonic, you platform and speed your way through various stages with the help of alien creatures called Wisps.
Let’s go over the basics before we get into the remaster itself. For the hedgehog’s 35th anniversary, a remaster of the game developed by Blind Squirrel releases in a few days if you didn’t preorder the deluxe edition and, well, it’s less than perfect. It established the saturday morning cartoon vibe that’s continued to this day and, while I do miss the more serious storylines of games past, it’s a fun, lighthearted adventure that is easy to run through in just a few hours. Sure, the followup Generations improved the controls and level design, but the music and varied atmosphere of each zone keeps me coming back to this particular entry. Originally released in 2010 for the Wii, Sonic Colors is my favorite 3D Sonic game.
You’ve got heart, so I expect you to put your all into everything, unlike this lackluster remaster of one of your greatest adventures. After all, if even your fans are going to hate your games after a while, why even bother? But you know what? I know you can deliver experiences no one else can, not Mario, not Ratchet and Clank, and not even your loving imitators. I know that’s not true – I’ve enjoyed our Adventures, the Mania, & Knuckles – however, it seems like you’re giving into the haters. Everyone screws up sometimes, but lately it’s felt like most people think you can’t do anything right. We’ve had some good times over the years, a few bad, but you’re better than those.
